Shipping Information

The National Geographic Society makes every effort to ship your order as soon as possible. Items in stock are shipped within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your order. Personalized items and those that are shipped directly from the manufacturer may have longer delivery times (see product description) and will only be sent via standard shipping. Orders may ship in multiple boxes and arrive separately. Some items may not be available in all areas or via expedited methods. If there are any problems with your order, you will receive an e-mail from us with further details. Once shipped, the delivery time is based upon the product you ordered and the shipping method you chose during checkout.

Shipping Charges vary by place and shipping method - please see below. Shipping and handling (S&H) in U.S. dollars will be added to your order when you check out. We do not charge S&H for magazine subscriptions. Our shipping and handling rates include the cost of customer service, processing, and shipping.

We regret that licensing restrictions prohibit us from shipping our video/DVD products outside the U.S. and Canada. Overseas customers, please check your local video centers for our products. In addition, some products are unable to be shipped outside the U.S. or to P.O. boxes because of their size. In each case, the product information will list any shipping restrictions on that item.
